Lacking their previously dominant attacking strategy, the Tigers’ service errors combined with frequently missed attacks paved the way for the Patriots’ retribution. The opening set foreshadowed George Mason’s dominance. The Tigers trailed early 7–3, and they struggled to defend against the Patriots’ forceful kills.
